Casting

 

Lead Roles (Ages 15-17 to Play High School)

Billy Badass: Needs high, manic energy and expressive features for the Extreme Close-Ups of his maniacal laughter and goofy faces. Should have a natural, confident swagger despite his messy appearance (designer hoodie/ripped jeans). Must be believable performing simple, aggressive physical comedy.

Dillian: Should look slightly older or "cooler" than Billy, but still clearly follow his lead. Needs an air of self-importance. Must be comfortable being seen with "his newest selection of girlfriends" without looking like he actually cares.

Authority Figures (Ages 30-50)

Principal Tyrone Daquavious Weenie: This is a key comedic role. Needs a face that can easily form a grotesque, "hideous scowl" that looks funny under the harsh lighting. Must be willing to look ridiculous, wearing a cheap, ill-fitting suit and performing the frenetic, undignified chase scene. The actor must sell the cartoonish anger.

The Teacher: Should be physically non-threatening and look easily overwhelmed. Needs to look convincingly pathetic while hanging by his tighty-whities and delivering a loud, exaggerated scream of pain after being kicked.

Voice & Extras

The Narrator: A deep, gravelly, overly dramatic voice is essential. Must sound like a B-movie trailer announcer who is taking the high school drama way too seriously.

Students/Extras: Need a few extras to play the easily shoved student and the victims of the wet willy. Dillian’s girlfriends should be simple background characters, dressed in trendy clothes to contrast with the chaos but easily forgotten.
